Hello! It's my turn this week to write the blog and before I start I'm afraid I can't promise the same "wit and charm" as Xaver's entries last week. Again we spent the week in the kitchens, however I was now it the hot kitchen and Xaver was trying his hand in the pastry room. On the first day in the hot kitchen I definately felt a little lost, it was a lot more manic, I had less than an hour to peel 66 potatoes! An hour later I sadly discovered William correcting my 66 mistakes, I was not aware there was such an art in potatoe peeling. William over the next couple of days became a big brother figure in the kitchen, guiding me through various techniques and kindly teaching me some Swahili on the way . I soon began to find my feet, triumphantly bringing a smile to Big John's face with my presentation skills at service. Xaver yet again quickly decided he had mastered all the skills needed in pastry after a few hours! However I think Lucy might tell a different story! This week the number of guests has slowly depleted to a grand total of zero on Easter Monday. To pass the time in the kitchen we invented many games from aiming pebbles at various targets to egging on our co-workers to question both Xaver and mine future Masai marriage prospects - the popularity of this particular game rapidly plummeted as we realised our co-workers were taking this matter a bit too seriously (they had started saving up their cows)!
